I have dreamed about one day having my own book published. How that was going to happen or what that was going to look like, I didn't know for sure. The only thing I knew, is that food would be involved. When Skyhorse Publishing reached out to me last year and asked me about writing a cookbook, I literally couldn't believe it. ( Um, pinch me...is this real life?) Three years ago, I was a girl who started a blog not knowing much about it other than that I wanted to share my life and the food I was making with all of you. And now here I am awaiting my very own cookbook release and I am just so thankful. The Unexpected Cajun Kitchen is a cookbook where you will find Cajun inspired dishes with a farm to table twist that you can make in your everyday life!
Dare I say that I can finally feel a hint of fall? The air is definitely changing here in Texas, even though it is still pretty hot compared to some other parts of the country, it's feels pretty great to me. I had the windows open all weekend and definitely felt the fall baking bug and soup cravings hitting me hard. Anyone else have this happening right now? My roasted butternut squash and apple soup with sage oil is going to cure your soup hankering by giving you a hug from the inside!
The weather has turned here in Texas, and I am hoping it's here to stay! The nights have been chilly, the days crisp, and I've been in the mood for all the soups. I am one of those people who could eat soup on a hot summer day, but I don't make them as much because Canean is definitely not one of those people. This gets me really excited for fall and winter when I can make as many soups as I want! My spicy roasted tomato basil soup is one of those soups that will become one of your favorites that gets put on dinner rotation. It's simple, healthy, and so full of flavor that you and your family are going to love it!
